Présentation de l'éditeur

What is the universe of which we are a part? What is its meaning? What is our life, and whence, and whither? These questions are perennials; they spring up year after year without our planting. Not so with the answers. Man must wring them from a reluctant Nature by the sweat of his broW. This book attempts to sketch the contributions made by the various sciences toward a philosophy of the universe. It grows out of the conviction, to which philosophy has been strangely blind, that the inductive method is the only method of thinking which is reliable or fruitful. Scientific study has opened up the rich fields of modern thought by driving observation and hypothesis abreast. Why should science have a monopoly of such a team? I offer this book as the outline of an inductive philosophy. The task of the sciences is to gather facts in their respective fields. The function of philosophy is supposed to be to interpret those facts and arrange them into a consistent whole. If philosophy is in bad repute in many quarters, it is because she has forgotten her place as the handmaid of the sciences.
